I like the way the bikes point in the opposite direction to the arrows. Those crazy traffic planners!

bike lanes are way important, esp if they're multiplying... best example would be here,where cars, trucks, bikes,

motorcycles, horse carriages, all rolled into one lane, accidents here happen every minute..,
no discipline at all...
i'm glad the system has found a "right" way for cyclists. ^0^

Hard to understand the opposition. Safety, I can see. It just makes good sense to put in bike lanes in an urban environment.

i remember when i went to protest against banning the bikes in Bucharest. we where like a bunch of guys, most of us being part of trial bike group. the rest where, just, curious guys, who came along. At least it's something resembling with a bike line.

Sorry to disappoint our friend Jacob, but I am not so glad to confirm that many of the erratic bike lanes of Livorno are drawn on sidewalks, and even these, sometimes, suddenly disappear, leaving the cyclist in the middle of a busy crossing…

Bike lanes on the sidewalk? Are they nuts? But, perhaps that's better than no bike lanes at all. It's been a slow process here, especially in some areas. There are cities that have made a real commitment toward a greater use of bicycles. Ocala isn't one of them, unfortunately.

You gotta love bureaucracy, but I am glad you finally have them!
